The interface between metabolic syndrome and periodontal disease
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2012, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex pathology that combines several risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It is defined by the presence of visceral obesity, elevated triglycerides, decreased HDL, elevated blood pressure and blood glucose. The presence of at least three of these factors characterizes the syndrome. Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic infection that produces a local and systemic inflammatory response. PD has been suggested as a possible risk factor for some of the components of MS, such as diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia. Objective: The aim of this study was to review the literature about the possible association between periodontal disease and metabolic syndrome and to identify the components of this syndrome that may contribute to this association. Literature review: PD in the body produces a subclinical inflammatory state characterized by the release of inflammatory cytokines. Conclusion: It is plausible that these substances may contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome.
